Newfoundland

About diving around Newfoundland

• Snorkel around icebergs and with whales
• Amazing nature on land and sea
• Wreck from World War II

Off the coast of Newfoundland, currents from Labrador meet the warm Gulf Stream. This results in a population of thousands of whales, an unusually spectacular underwater environment with rich flora and fauna and a perfect place for millions of seabirds to nest. Imagine this landscape and add giant blue iridescent icebergs in all its forms, wrecks with a history of over 500 years and you have world-class diving and experiences.

The diving season in Labrador and Newfoundland runs from May to November with peak season June-August, offering new exciting discoveries all the time. The wrecks are available throughout the season, and there is much to discover here.

During the months of May and June, Greenland's giant icebergs float towards the coast of Newfoundland, creating a dreamlike landscape. During the summer months of June - August, over 35 million seabirds gather on the barren rocks where several kinds of whales get their food in the nutrient-rich water.

The diving is, as you understand, indescribable. This combined with Canada's history and culture makes this trip completely unforgettable.

Iceberg
The best time to see icebergs in Conception Bay is from May to the end of July. Iceberg diving can't be compared to anything else. The beautiful majestic formations and the heart-wrenching feeling of ships gone awry is a truly unique experience and evokes a sense of awe, curiosity and caution in us. 

From the east coast of Labrador to the southern shores of Newfoundland, you have "Iceberg Alley", the only place in the world where you can see icebergs as big as a 2-3 story building pass by on their way from Greenland to the Atlantic.

It is amazing to see the icebergs from below the surface as divers and experience their true size. The possibility of diving depends on the shape and size of the icebergs on each specific occasion.

The best chance to see whales in Newfoundland is from July to August and the most common whales at Conception Bay are humpback and baleen whales. These beautiful creatures have a very awe-inspiring body size, but are really just friendly giants who love to play. 

With the help of a 7 meter long rib boat, it is quick and easy to get out to the whales and get magnificent pictures and videos. Weather permitting and the whales there is the opportunity to jump in and snorkel with them, which is a breathtaking experience!
